Spring and nesting season for birds is right around the corner. Migrating birds will be looking for nesting sites and homeowners and businesses will be looking for humane solutions to keep birds off their structures.

Summary:Ultrasonic bird control devices can be found in garden centers, home improvement stores and online through bird control product retailers. However, birds cannot hear ultrasonic sounds. This article written by ornithologist Rob Fergus, PhD. seeks to inform consumers about false claims of ultrasonic devices in relation to bird control.

Sometimes hardware or lawn & garden companies advertise ultrasonic bird control devices that are supposed to drive birds away with high frequency noises undetectable to humans. Sounds like a good idea, right? Blast out sounds birds can hear but we can’t—what’s not to like?

Fine-feathered friends, they’re not. Residents complain that they’re constantly cleaning up after the avian arrivistes, who started showing up last November in the community northeast of Louisville. Nearly everyone has heard their town compared to Alfred Hitchcock’s classic film “The Birds.”

Flight 3702 was departing for Oakland just before 12:30 p.m. when it hit the bird. The captain turned around as a precaution and taxied to the gate without being towed. None of the 136 passengers was injured, but the bird strike damaged the engine and possibly part of a wing.

According to PDX’s website, the flight was rescheduled to depart at 6 p.m. Some passengers made other connections but nearly 100 of them will continue on to Oakland.

Southwest Airlines said the pilot made the right decision to turn the plane around. (more…)
